Perhaps don't encourage `this` usage #22

We've been trying for a while to say that this is only for methods. This proposal uses it as a way of passing context around, but to functions, not methods. This is not great, although I'm not sure what the alternative is.

this was originally conceived as the mechanism to enable nesting.

This has been a consistent feedback I'm getting, so I think it really does need to be addressed.

This is current formulation of nesting, which I think addresses the abuse of this.

Does that sound like it would address the encouragement of this?

That makes sense to me.
